Coming out of exile to post this school photo of Rose at 12, created for Comic Creators For Freedom’s 2013 donation drive to support Love 146, a support and advocacy organization working to stop child trafficking. This year, the drive runs from December 2-14. A donation of any size gets you a wallpaper featuring the above image of Rose, as well as over 100 other characters from participating webcomics. Please don’t forget to make a donation during this busy holiday season, it’s good for you!

In Rose Madder news, I am still unfortunately overloaded with work, directing episodes of Axe Cop for Fox’s ADHD Saturday night animation block. I want to come back and continue Chapter Six sometime in 2014; whether it’ll be at a page-a-week frequency or something less is still up in the air. Please keep coming back to check and you will be rewarded for it, eventually. I know that the lack of new content is the kiss of death for any website, and it’s killing me to not be able to continue forward for the moment. For those who have been regular readers and followers of Rose Madder, thank you for your patience and I hope to see you in 2014. Happy holidays!

Sorry for the delay of the originally-schedule start of Chapter Six. Due to an overabundance of work in the real, paying world, I’ve been unable as of yet to have the several weeks worth of pages necessary to keep a weekly posting schedule. So it’ll take a few more weeks for me to get there. Come back in two weeks and see if I’m able to pull it off!

In the meantime, this might be a good time for long-time or new readers to get up to speed by clicking through the archives. Thanks for your patience.
